Detailed Description

An MgCurveString is composed of one or more curve segments.

Remarks:
The curve segments are connected to one another so that the end point of each segment is the start point of the next segment in the segment list. The end point of the last segment in the ring is not the start point of the first segment. That is the curve string is not closed.
An object of this type is constructed by calling the non-static MgGeometryFactory::CreateCurvePolygon() method and, once constructed, is immutable.
Example (PHP)
The following code shows the construction of a curve string, which has a circular arc and a linear segment

 $geometryFactory = new MgGeometryFactory();
 $coordinateCollection = new MgCoordinateCollection();
 $curveSegmentCollection = new MgCurveSegmentCollection();
 $wktReaderWriter = new MgWktReaderWriter();

 // create the circular arc
 $startCoordinate = $geometryFactory->CreateCoordinateXY(0,2);
 $controlCoordinate = $geometryFactory->CreateCoordinateXY(2,4);
 $endCoordinate = $geometryFactory->CreateCoordinateXY(4,2);
 $arcSegment = $geometryFactory->CreateArcSegment($startCoordinate,
 $endCoordinate, $controlCoordinate);
 $index = $curveSegmentCollection->Add($arcSegment);
 echo "Arc segment added to curve segment collection at index: $index\n";

 // create linear segment
 // note that the first coordinate is the same as the last
 // coordinate of the circular arc
 $coordinate = $geometryFactory->CreateCoordinateXY(4,2);
 $index = $coordinateCollection->Add($coordinate);
 echo "Coordinate added to coordinate collection at index: $index\n";
 $coordinate = $geometryFactory->CreateCoordinateXY(2,0);
 $index = $coordinateCollection->Add($coordinate);
 echo "Coordinate added to coordinate collection at index: $index\n";
 $linearSegment = $geometryFactory->CreateLinearSegment($coordinateCollection);
 $index = $curveSegmentCollection->Add($linearSegment);
 echo "Linear segment added to curve segment collection at index: $index\n";

 // create curve string
 $curveString = $geometryFactory->CreateCurveString($curveSegmentCollection);

 // print out the Agf Text string for the geometry
 $curveStringAgfText = $wktReaderWriter->Write($curveString);
 echo "AGF Text representation of curve string: $curveStringAgfText\n";

 // The following BNF is for the construction of a string representation
 // of the geometry.
 // The <StartPoint> for every segment except the first is equal
 // to the end point of the previous segment.
 // So the <StartPoint> must be explicit for the first segment
 // and implicit for every segment thereafter.
 // When using the API to construct the geometry, however,
 // you must make the start point explicit in the data.
 // So in the data the end point from the previous segment and
 // the start point from the next segment are identical.
 // <CurveString> ::= '(' <StartPoint> '(' <CurveSegmentCollection> ')' ')'
 // See CreateACurveSegmentCollectionXY() for the rest of the BNF.
